Chapter 114: Dreams Are Not Dreams
The woman who had been guarding her was a little upset: "What are you doing?" The child has just woken up, his body is weak, you made such a big movement, do you want him to faint again?"
This simple peasant couple was busy with Lu Lie's side again, and the neighbors who came here were also in the mood to watch the excitement, and took care of Lu Lie, a "waste man". Tossing and turning until the evening, a cadre of villagers left without finishing their minds, and on the way they kept muttering words such as "Bodhisattva manifestation" and "seven years of awakening".
At this moment, Lu Lie still couldn't move. His head was gently resting on the woman's head, and he kept gently stroking his hair, calling his name:
"Lu Lie, do you still remember, when you were young, you liked to eat this ...... the most"
"That big plum head in the next village, you used to like to play with him the most, and then people went to the city, and I came back to see you last year......"
"You've been in a coma for seven years. Mom is ready, you're not going to wake up in your life. Chew the porridge with your mouth every day and feed it to you. Pity the heavens, let you live to the present ......"
"You've been in a coma all these years. But he often talks in his dreams, popping up words like 'troubled times', 'war', and 'famine'. I've always felt that although you are in a coma, you are spending your whole life in another world, in a dream world......"
"In the past month, your dream talk has become more and more frequent, and you often scream out in horror some words such as 'strange tree', 'Shikijin', 'ancient tomb', etc., which can scare my mother to death......
The woman kept nagging in Lu Lie's ear, her voice was complaining, and as she spoke, strings of tears gently fell on Lu Lie's pillow. The more Lu Lie listened to this voice, the more familiar he became, and he had already determined seven or eight points in his heart, it turned out that the female voice he had heard in the giant tree world before, and the female voice that kept calling in his ears like a ghost was this woman.
It's just that the tree and the small village, which of the two worlds is the real world?
Lu Lie was lying on the woman's knees, although his body could not move, his two big black eyes were constantly spinning, thinking nervously about his situation.
He fell into a deep doubt, could it be that he had really been in a coma for seven years and had been staying in this little humble house? If this was really the case, then what he had seen and heard on the giant tree, and even his wanderings in the north and south of the river all these years, were all Nan Ke's dreams?
He lived in his dreams for seven years!?
It's just that this is too incredible, if you accept this fact, it is tantamount to forcing Lu Lie to overthrow all his worldviews and rebuild a new world!
The scorching pain when he ate the magic fruit for the first time, the fear of seeing the corpse in the sky when he climbed the giant tree, the first encounter with Li Yuan, the despair when he was surrounded by countless zombies, and the fact that everyone worked together to climb into the inside of the giant tree...... This scene is so real. If he was told that it was just a dream, it was all his own imagination, but this dream was too real to be almost the same as the real world!
He's going crazy!
"Calm down, calm down. ”
Lu Lie said to himself secretly.
He remembered again, before he finally came to his senses, it seemed that he had walked into an elevator with Li Yuan. Li Yuan told him that the elevator would take him directly to the top of the giant tree, where there was a space-time machine that would allow him to return to any time and space he wanted to go.
So here comes the question -
What was the last wish you made to the space-time machine?
A light suddenly flashed through Lu Lie's chaotic mind, and his pupils shrank into two pin-like points in shock and disbelief-
Yes, the last promise I made was to go back to that snowy night fourteen years ago!
Lu Lie's train of thought was a little chaotic, he forced himself to calm down and sort out his own clues-
Because he made a wish to return to the past to the space-time machine that he had never seen before, the space-time machine finally woke up in the form of "everything is a dream" and returned to the real world where his father and mother were still alive, that is, the past he was looking forward to.
But now in this time and space, looking at his mature body, which is seventeen or eighteen years old, is not fourteen years ago?
And also......
An even more bizarre conclusion made Lu Lie unable to figure it out even if he wanted to break his head-
Whether it was because of his own wish, the time machine made everything a dream, or everything he had seen and heard on the giant tree, all his experiences in the past fourteen years were originally a dream. It's just that I woke up when I dreamed of the time machine......
In other words, is the space-time machine a power that can turn reality into an illusion, or is it a part of its own imagination......
Or, both......
This has risen to a philosophical problem that Lu Lie could not imagine......
In the following month, many distant relatives and neighbors still came to visit the Lu family and meet him, the so-called stupid son who had been in a coma for seven years. The parents of the Lu family naturally smiled from ear to ear, and every day was like a festival. Lu Lie had been lying in bed for seven years, his limbs were a little atrophied, and his legs were thinner than ordinary people's arms. But under the careful care of Lu's mother, she has been able to gradually get out of bed and walk and do some simple movements in the past month.
Looking at his "mother", that kind and expectant face. Lu Lie suddenly remembered the woman he saw standing in front of the horse thief when he crossed the time and space wall. Although he had never seen her face clearly, gradually, the figures of the two gradually overlapped and became one person.
"Mom. One day, when the family of three was eating together, Lu Lie asked cautiously, "I remember, a long time ago, there was a horse thief who attacked our village, and you ...... to protect me."
"Oh, that's it. Lu's mother had palpitations, and with a hint of joy that her son had recovered a little memory, "I was scared to death at that time, thinking that I was going to die." Fortunately, the child's father and a group of men arrived in time and desperately drove away the group of horse thieves. Your father cut off three fingers to save you. ”
The middle-aged man drank wine, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes: "Hey, how many years ago, I didn't mention it." What is it that I have three fingers chopped off...... Your mother blocked that knife, and she has a stomach injury that still can't work in the field. And Ah Lie, your original brothers and sisters, Ah Jing, Ah Mei, Ah Tang, and they were all stabbed to death at that time. You were the youngest, but you were the smartest, lying in the snow and pretending to be dead, but you escaped the disaster......
Speaking of this, the eyes of this middle-aged man, who usually does not smile, were red, "When I came here, I only saw corpses in one place...... Hey, if I hadn't seen the child and your mother still alive, I would have killed myself immediately, what's the point of living alone in this world. ”
